[QUOTE="mendon mafia, post: 6522309, member: 584590"] ok so before i talk about my enclosure lets talk about what could cause the "symptoms" that i am having with my subs. Subs can take all the power in the world below 40hz. between 40-50 its a little iffy and above 50 my subs are completely out of control over extending and distorting like mad. BTW i have 2 12" rd alpha v3/v2's. i realize that the subs should hardly move when playing at tuning but the subs should move more below tuning than above right? all my problems are above tuning. even below tuning the power handling is exceptional and no distortion. On the song hypnotize by young jeezy the 2 low notes (34 and 37 IIRC) absolutely kill and i can crank the volume all the way up with no problems at all. They keep getting louder and sound clean doing it. but when the high note hits (51hz IIRC) the subs distort terribly and sound VERY bad and move way farther than on the other 2 notes. So what can cause the problems im having? PLEASE HELP. ok so now that you have thought about that for a minuite i can tell you i hav an atomic 3000.1d amplifier, and my enclosures spec out to 2 cubes net tuned to 37hz. heres some pics of the box, the dimensions are 18.5 wide, 13.5 tall, and 31 long, the port is 4" wide x 12" tall. The port wall lengths are 26.25 and 8 The RE calc says its 2.329 cubes @ 34.46hz but that calc doesn't factor in the double front baffle or driver displacement so thats how i get my numbers for volume and tuning.
